We have lots going on at the moment so it's hard to know where to begin!
Some of you already know that I was invited to a job interview yesterday. It was a pretty surreal experience and one which, if the outcome is unsuccessful, I am more than happy to repeat!
I have never ever laughed so much during a job interview and it felt extremely positive. So. We'll see. It's a job teaching English at the local college/university, by the way.
So, as a result of this interview we have now found a new nanny for Indiana. She's a very nice lady, all the children she looks after are aged between 18 to 24 months so the same age as Indiana, more or less.
Indiana had a trial morning today and it went really really well. She apparently played beautifully with the other children, never once gave a thought to her parents (good sign!) and when I went to pick her up she was pleased to see me but she also seemed thrilled to have spent time with other toddlers. I felt so happy for her that I was almost tearful. It's what she needs and has so desperately been seeking over the last few weeks.
One of the mums who sends her child to this nanny has horses, so Carole (the nanny) is going to make sure that we meet up - perhaps that will be a possibility to create a riding buddy friendship!
I have also been busy baking. Since baking the turkey and the blueberry pies, I've now started experimenting with cookies!
Chocolate chip and walnut:
My reliable guinea-pig/official taster:
I'm going to bake some white chocolate chip and cranberry ones next!
On one of our exploratory trips of the area, we visited a village called Kingsey Falls. It has a small waterfall - if you can call it that. Anyway, here's a father-daughter photo:
That's all for now, and to all those who continue to visit my blog regularly: thanks for reading!
